Photo of the Week 2017-08-28

This past weekend was the 3rd annual weekend at the cottage with Lynn's older sister and her family. This year Bill and Cathy stayed with us while Michael, Melissa, Hannah and Thompson stayed at Lands End Campground across the bay. 

Although timing had not been in my favour for night sky shots for a while. We were fortunate enough to have 3 great days of weather and 3 wickedly clear nights where the night sky was dark, full of stars and the Milky Way ... and I was able to fight through the siren call of the sheets as darkness falls ;-)

I managed to make it late enough on 3 consecutive nights to see the night sky complete with Milky Way from the shore in front of the fire pit, this image was made the first night and it didn't get any better than this ... how could it ?

  2. I have been thinking about where to go for good sights of the Milky Way. This is so beautiful.

    1. Jasmine, for the best viewing, the location needs to be far from the urban plague of light pollution and you obviously need a clear night. In addition to the norther portions of the Bruce Peninsula (which is not listed in this link), check here for the recommended sites in Ontario.
